Synopsis

All The Journeys I Never Took offers a personal account of what it’s like to leave behind the middle man – lover, father, priest – and discover our place in the world. A place which echoes with unravelling journeys, first dates, break-ups, family and confidences. At turns both confessional and political, this collection explores what a contemporary definition of home might be: something physical, a person, a concept best left behind or a destination to keep heading towards.
